Wong Kok Char Chan Teng is one of the few places that one of my friends love to visit. While I am one who is really into what Hong Kong Tea Rooms serves these days, I got convinced by my friend to give this place yet another go following a quite forgettable experience the previous time I visited, so I relented and gave this place another visit.For drinks, I went for the Yam Milk Shake ($5.90++).

For drinks, I went for the Yam Milk Shake ($5.90++). It is topped off with a Yam Ice-Cream on top that is very strong in it’s creamy taro flavour. It complimented the drink well, which is pretty milky and light on the taste of yam.
Double Sauces Sandwich ($4.90++) is a toast dish with their own twist to it. Instead of serving just normal toast, there is a variation of french toast and white toast, served with mushroom sauce and Italian tomato sauces. The white toast, supposedly crispy, turned out to have a texture which suggested that it was reheated after being left out there for too long. French toast was fragrant with the egg beaten and soaked into it, but did not really seem to match with both sauces. The Italian tomato sauce was somewhat similar to a tomato puree, while the mushroom sauce was quite near to cream of mushroom in taste with other ingredients added into it. While the idea was a good one, the dish just does not seem to match up and felt pretty random in my opinion.
Teriyaki Chicken Rice ($7.60++) had the nice savoury yet sweet flavour that is the signature of Teriyaki. The onions were also cooked well, though still pretty crunchy The qualm was that there was no gravy or broth in the rice which made it seem a tad dry to swallow, especially when it is such as big bowl of rice.
I ordered the Salmon Fillet in Cheese Sauce with Rice ($10.90++) as the item that I had wanted went out of stock. The cheese was pretty pungent on it’s arrival, and while the salmon was pretty reasonable a portion, it was a dish that was hard to down. The cheese sauce was just too overwhelming and strong, and the coleslaw was served warm and it turned a wee bit sour when placed beside the warm sauce and rice, which made it feel disastrous.For more photos and the full review: http://jiaksimipng.wordpress.com/2013/11/23/wong-kok-char-chan-teng-%E6%97%BA%E8%A7%92%E8%8C%B6%E9%A4%90%E5%8E%85-bugis-junction/
